Numbered real-photo breakdown
GAR-BOT parts with labels and part numbers.
This page combines the real hardware photos already in the GAR-BOT package with numbered rendered pictures from the actual exported STL files. The photo cards show physical components; the render cards are generated from the final printable part files.
